2 Chronicles 4:21

19 Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of God: the golden altar; the tables on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;

20 the lampstands of pure gold and their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed;

the flowers, lamps, and tongs of gold—of purest gold;

22 the wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers of purest gold; and the gold doors of the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place as well as the doors of the main hall.
